Helned ThemselNes.

Last evening an express wagon
driven by Captain Fletcher and loaded
with an old trunk and a couple OF
drunks drove up to the city prison.
The prisoners gave the names of E.
w. Trentrup and J. w. Taylor and
were locked up on charges OF grand
larceny for having stolen the express
wagon from in front of its stand at the
junction of Main and Spring streets.
The fellows were beastly drunk and
were hardly able to talk. They man
aged, however, to explain that they
wanted to hire an expressman yester-
day afternoon. They found a wagon
but the driver was missing. They
mounted the vehicle and drove off.
After securing trunk which they
wanted to move they claim to have
been on their way back to the stand
when arrested at the corner of Olive
and Fifth streets.

SCHOOL MATTERS.
The Term to Open on Monday,
October Third.

The Term to Open ON Monday, ,
October Third.
The public schools of this city will
reopen on Monday, October Sd, and
continue in session thirty-six weeks,
exclusive of vacations. There has
been no change in the school districts
and all the children are expected to
report early on the morning in ques-
tion at the schools in their districts.
In some of the districts there will not
be accommodation for the scholars,
and in order that the Board of Educa-
tion may know exactly what to do in
the matter, the parents are requested
to have the children registered on the
opening day. 1t is almost certain
that the children in the Brooklyn
Heights district will have to attend
half day at the Boyle Heights school,
and that those in the San Pedro street
district will 60 to the Morris Vineyard
school for half day, but the children
are instructed to report on Monday
morning of next week at the San
Pedro and Brooklyn Heights schools.
There will in all probability be press
for places, and the children in all dis
tricts should be on hand early.
There will be teachers meeting on
Saturday afternoon, October LIST,
at two o'clock, at which all
the teachers and principals in
the department are expected to
be present. Instructions will then be
issued in preparation for the work of
the next term. Teachers will on that
occasion receive their warrants for
one-tenth of their salaries. Some
time since, the Board Of Education
fixed the salaries of the teachers at a
stated rate per year, payable in ten
installments, commencing with Sep
tember 3Oth and ending June 3Oth.
During vacation the buildings and
yards have been placed in excellent
order, and efforts are being made to
push ahead the construction of the
new buildings as fast as possible, SO
that the children may have the full
benefit of the educational advantages
designed to be given in the public
schools. So long as they are able to
receive but a half-day's teaching the
parents and teachers feel that the
schooling is not up to standard. As
soon as the school bonds are sold the
building will be commenced, and it
will be pushed forward as rapidly as
possible.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.
Interesting Letter to One Of the
Citizens.

Citizens.
The following interesting letter ad'
dressed to Mr.. A. w. Francisco, is
given to the public for perusal, mas
much as it it refers to a matter in
which every one in Los Angeles is in
terested:
TIE NATIONAL HOME FOR DIsABLED)
VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS,
Office of the First VicePresident, Board
of Managers, 400 East Seventh street,
Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 18th, 1887.
A. w. Francisco-Dear Sir: I am
just home from my summer trip, or
your letter would have been answered
sooner.
The Board of Managers met at Long
Branch on the 9th instant.
1t was resolved to start for Cali
fornia ON the 10th of November, stop
ping on the way at the Central Branch
Soldiers Home, Dayton, Ohio, West
ern branch, Leavenworth, Kas., and
perhaps the Milwaukee branch, Wis
consin.
The route has not yet been deter
mined, but it will probably be by the
Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe; If so,
we will stop at your place first, thence
perhaps, direct to San Francisco.
AS soon as the route is determined,
l will write to you again.
Now las to the gift ofthe land. The
board will endeavor to select a site
embracing the following conditions: :
Climate, transportation, water supply,
fuel, ETC.; or in other words, the
healthiest and most economical place
to take care of the men. But every
thing being equal, it would seem that
the place offering the best induce
ments would secure the branch.
Milwaukee gave 500, 900, Leaven-
worth $40 acres of land and $50, 900 to
adorn the grounds.
1 suppose that the citizens who
made the above contributions did so
from patriotic and business motives.
If the land is given for branch Of
the National Soldiers Home for d. v.
S., it would revert to the city when
no longer required for that purpose.
The Central Branch is very at
tractive place; the grounds are we'll
kept, commanding and beautiful. As
many as 160, 1000 visit it annually.
I suppose that branch could be made
equally, if not more attractive, in
your glorious climate. Yours truly,
[Signed.l L. A. HARRIS.

THE DEPOT.
The Ground Cleared and Switches
Laid.

The Ground Cleared and Switches
Laid.
A fortnight ago the s. P. r. r. Co.,
through its agent, obtained permission
of the City Council to construct
switches into the property at the foot
of Fifth street for the purpose Of COM
mencing the construction of the new
passenger depot. Since that time two
tracks have been laid from the Ala
media street line, and work on the
building will shortly commence. The
orange trees which were on the land
to be occupied by the building and
tracks have been cut down and the
way prepared for the building opera
tions. The depot will be situated on
Alameda street, exactly opposite Fifth
street, the ground extending 1900 feet
from Fourth to Sixth streets, and be-
ing 800 feet in width on the west side
of Alameda street. Although the
plans and elevation of the depot build
ing have not arrived, it is certain that
it will be a very handsome

feet long and two stories
in height. It will be the best depot
building in the State and surrounded
as it is by orange trees it will prove
very attractive to visitors arriving in
Los Angeles. 1t will contain dining
rooms, and other apartments for the
use of travellers and all designed with
especial care for that purpose. On
triangular piece of land facing the
depot and fronting on Fifth street ant
Gladys avenue a large hotel will
shortly be commenced, and othel
buildings in the vicinity are contem
plated, so that, what was once larg'
and profitable orange orchard will bt
in a short time one Of the busiest por
tions OF the city. Fifth street is thu
only street in this vicinity which doe
not go clear through to the river, bu
this leads directly to the depot ant
will be the one on which most of tn,
travel will occur. Other streets ar
being graded and graveled and by tn
time the depot building is completes
everything will be in order.

Shecly Convicted.

The case of Dan Sheely, charged
with burglarizing the house of w. ].
Brodrick, was concluded in Judge
Cheney's court yesterday evening.
The testimony of the defendant was
not very convincing to the jury that
he was innocent of the crime with
which he was charged. The case
went to the jury early in the after
noon and about dinner time it brought
in a verdict of guilty as charged. The
iurymen evidently had an idea that
the alibi was not proven by the defen-
dant.

The Great DrOuth.

MEMPHIS, Nov, 2l.-The forest
fires continue to rage in this section.
and the damage is becoming serious.
Several houses have been burned in
the counties of Mississippi, which
border the river. II is impossible to
gather definite details of the loss. 1t
is so widespread in its nature that an
estimate cannot be given. Steamers
cannot run at night owing to the
dense smoke which prevails from
Vicksburg to point $50 miles above
Memphis, total distance of $50
miles. Fires are burning everywhere
within this territory and there is no
immediate prospects of rain, Travel
by rail is INSTRUCTED from these caus-
es. Several trestles on the Kansas
City road have been destroyed. and
communication with st. Louis is
made via. Forest City. Never be-
fore in the history of the country has
there been such widespread c0nhag-
rations, and the loss to farmers will
be very heavy. The wind storm
which prevailed Saturday and Sat.
urday night must have been destruc-
tive to many dwelling and Outhouses
of planters, especially in the counties
to the west of Memphis in Arkansas,
but owing to the secluded country
and the lack of telegraphic facil-
tiles it will be several days before the
true condition of affairs is learned.
LEOPOLD, PERRY Co., IND.--The
fires in the woods in this vicinity are
sweeping everything before them.
Everything is as dry as finder and
the flames often rise to a height OF
fifteen feet and sweep over the high
ways as rapidly as oyer narrow paths
in the roads, Farmers have ceased
to make any efforts beyond attempt
ing to save buildings and fences and
to save fences they must remove
them into the fields.
SEYMOUR. IND, Nov. 21.-The
forests in the western part of this
county took fire again on Friday,
and the fire is still raging with fear
full effect. The people are powerless
to do anything to check the destruc-
tive elements on account of continu-
Gus high winds and no water.

NOVEMBER 18, 1S87.-After a long
silence we again endeavor to write a
few items for the columns of your
paper.
The Autumn, so far, has been quite
open, with but little rainfall. and
from present indications it is likely
to remain so. However, it is diff
cult to tell what lay may bring
forth. 1t has given farmers and 9TH
er out door Iab0rers grand oppor-
tunity to improve the flying mo-
ments. The people, especially some
of those residing on the mountains,
have been sufferers from the drought.

Barnnm's Show Suffers.

Boston, Nov. 2O'-A Globe spe-
cial from Bridgeport. Conn.,, says
that the main building of Barnum &
Bailey's great show was entirely de-
stroyed by fire this evening. About
1890 the alarm was sounded, quickly
followed by general alarm and
thousands of people were drawn to
the spot. In less than thirty minutes
the building, which was 900 by 200
feet and two stories in height, was
entirely consumed, The first intima-
ton of the fire was given by the roar
ing of lions and tigers, which seemed
to realize the impending danger =
next the elephants struggled in their
chains, but in an an incredibly short
